SAGE Reference titles and online library resources continue to receive recognition for their excellence. This year, Library Journal has selected a key SAGE/CQ Press database and eight SAGE titles – more than any other publisher – to be included in its annual Best Reference 2012 feature.
The annual Library Journal Best Reference list recognizes the top reference titles that have been reviewed in the journal during the previous year. The honored titles reflect a diversity of subjects, clearly representing the growing and varied list of significant reference resources available to researchers from SAGE and CQ Press.
